Back in the podcast, she proudly wore the badge of a devoted Swiftie and fondly reminisced about sweet encounters and Swift's gracious acknowledgment of her song 'Vertigo'. Reflecting on her sporadic encounters with Swift, Griff had once likened her to a fairy godmother who pops up unexpectedly, sprinkling moments of magic into her life. Despite the lack of constant communication, the singer cherished each fleeting moment Swift bestowed upon her, basking in the euphoria they brought.
